The unit was very solid, definitely not a toy. I wanted to use it to look 100 yards or so across the pond in back of our house. While the ability to take pictures and movies was very nice, I just couldn't see anything at night. For me the infrared light was pretty much worthless.

I'm VERY impressed with this monocular. I bought five different night vision monoculars ranging from $200-$1000, and this one by far surpassed my expectations. I needed a good night vision unit so I could use my drop trap at night, and this unit is definitely the best under $1000 I have found. It has three night color display options, violet, traditional green, and black/white. The image is crisp, and doesn't have that liquid display appearance ive found on other competitors, and you have the ability to easily focus on whatever you're target is. I also found that zooming didn't compromise the image quality as much as other NV units I have tried. You have to remember to take the color lense off if you're using it at night, I forgot to when I first used it and was almost going to return it, a mild case of user error on my part. I'm surprised more people haven't heard of this company. There are hardly any reviews on YouTube and other outlets, and I can't figure out why... other than perhaps, it's just not a well known brand. Also, the attached IR illuminator really works well, and is adjustable. If you're in the market for a good NV piece, definitely try this one out. I really don't see this disappointing people, it certainly is a win in my book.

I ordered this in February, loved it, sent it back for a simple enough fix within a 30 day time period from purchasing. seller keeps telling me he has to wait for it from a factory. Well how about you replace my 600.00 dollar Monocular with one that works and send it to me. Keep the one from the factory, THAT BTW, did not need a factory fix when I sent it in. But somehow, after sending it back, I received it with the SD slot pushed in..?! I'd really like to get this resolved soon. When it only had a battery issue in the first place. It's been months..this is starting to feel illegal

I'm also very impressed with this monocular. I tried several night vision devices ranging from $250 to $350. They all felt like toys and the quality of the image was not there. Felt like I was looking through plastic lenses. This device is solid and worth every penny. Even without using the IR illuminator, if there is moonlight, you can see clearly in the night. I highly recommend this device. Make sure you remove the daylight filter at night.

Night vision works well.
